Festival - Wo Kunst in Kärnten Probleme löst
Sommertage in Kärnten – das sind vielerorts leblose Dörfer, Menschen, die in aller Frühihre Häuser verlassen, um erst am Abend erschöpft zurückzukehren. Das sind auch leerstehende Schulen, Einkaufsläden und Postämter, die das Leben aus den Dörfern gepumpt haben. Das Netzwerk AKS – Plattform für zeitgenössischen Tanz plus Kunst (repräsentiert durch Andrea K. Schlehwein mit ihrem Team) – besetzt nun künstlerisch diesen Raum und macht aus dem ehemaligen Postamt Millstatt die Lokation eines zweimonatigen Kunstevents.
Andrea K. Schlehwein und ihr Team wissen, dass es “ohne Raum keine Infrastruktur, ohne Infrastruktur keine Kreativität und ohne Kreativität kein Wachstum“ gibt. Und so bietet das kunstLABor Millstatt eine kreative Lösung für viele Problembereiche. Dabei: Künstlern wird hier Raum geboten, und sie werden eingeladen, direkt vor Ort zu gestalten.
Derzeit zahlt es sich somit auch wieder aus, durch den Ortskern von Millstatt zu wandeln, denn es gibt tatsächlich etwas zu sehen und zu erleben. Einheimischen wie auch Touristen werden künstlerische Leckerbissen geboten, die auch aus einem simplen Badeurlaub ein Kunsterlebnis machen. „Voiaristen“ sind herzlich eingeladen, am Marktplatz durch die großen Fenster der alten Post die Künstler beim Arbeiten zu beobachten.
Zu sehen sind Tänzerinnen und Tanzperformer, Tonskulpturen entstehen vor den Augen der Betrachter, und Ausstellungen werden gehängt. Das Publikum wird allerdings auch eingeladen, am künstlerischen Prozess teilzunehmen und ins kunstLABor einzutreten, um dort am Geschehen zu partizipieren. Es soll fotografiert, gefilmt und gezeichnet werden, so die Veranstalter, die durch die Betrachter und ihre Aufzeichnungen eine neue Dimension des kunstLABors schaffen wollen.
Junge Menschen sind schließlich eingeladen, im Forum Junges Blut vom 8. Bis zum 10 August Kunst aus ihrer Sicht zu schaffen. Im Rahmen des Workshops Let´s dance mit Hayley Glickfeld kann auch Stellung zu aktuellen Themen bezogen werden. Neben den offenen Tanzproben bietet das kunstLABor auch noch Installationen, Lesungen und Filmvorführungen mit über 20 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus der ganzen großen Welt. (szg)

Summer days in Carinthia –that often means lifeless villages, people leaving their homes early in the morning only to return exhausted in the evening. It also means empty schools, shops and post offices that have pumped the life out of the villages. NETZWERK AKS - Platform for Contemporary Dance and Art (represented by Andrea K. Schlehwein and her team) - now occupies this space artistically and turns the former Millstatt post office into the venue of a two-month art event.
Andrea K. Schlehwein and her team know that "without space there is no infrastructure, without infrastructure no creativity and without creativity no growth". Thus, KustLABor Millstatt offers a creative solution for many problem areas. Here, artists are offered space and are invited to create directly on site. These days, it pays to stroll through the heart of Millstatt, because there are things to see and experience. Locals and tourists alike are offered artistic delicacies that can turn even a simple lakeside holiday into an artistic experience. On the main square, "voiarists" are cordially invited to watch artists at work through the large windows of the old post office.
Dancers and dance performers can be observed, clay sculptures are created before the viewers' eyes, exhibitions are being hung. But the public is also invited to participate in the artistic process, to enter the kunstLABor and become part of what is happening there. Photos, films and drawings are to be made, according to the organisers, who want to create a new dimension of the kunstLABor through the viewers and their observations.
Finally, young people are invited to create art from their own point of view at the Forum Junges Blut from August 8th to 10th. And the workshop Let's Dance by Hayley Glickfeld will be an opportunity to take a stand on current issues as well. In addition to open dance rehearsals, the kunstLABor also offers installations, readings and film screenings with more than 20 artists from all over the whole wide world. (translation: Roman Zotter)
